One of the most frustrating things for me is trying to find specific files on the Mac. I can use Spotlight for finding applications and some files, but what if I wanted to find all copies of my resume across my entire hard drive? Contrary to what you’d think, it’s not easy to do.

Now an enterprising developer has come out with a utility that makes finding a file a quick search away.

The utility, Find Any File, will search your file system for files with criteria like name, creation date, modification date, size, and more.

For my quick test I searched for a file with the name resume. It immediately returned 243 results.

I was then able to drill down by directory and launch whatever file I happened to come upon, including archived ones from Gmail Offline.

If you’re a mac user this is definitely a must-have, especially since it’s free.{ad}
